Aubameyang hits hat-trick as Arsenal beat Leeds


Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored a superb hat-trick as Arsenal ended their three-game winless run with victory over Leeds United at Emirates Stadium.
Aubameyang opened the scoring in the 14th minute before doubling his side's advantage from the spot towards the end of the first half.
Right-back Hector Bellerin grabbed a third on the stroke of half-time, with Aubameyang completing his hat-trick with a header moments after the restart.
But from 4-0 down Leeds grabbed two second-half goals through Pascal Struijk and substitute Helder Costa to give Arsenal a late scare.

Aubameyang punishes sloppy Leeds
Making his first start in almost a month, Arsenal skipper Aubameyang proved just how valuable he is to the north London club.
Since he was last named in a starting XI, the Gunners had gone out of the FA Cup and taken four points from four games in the league.
Right from the off he looked lively, cutting in from the left and finding the bottom corner with a cultured finish in the opening quarter.
And he was denied a second moments later when Leeds defender Luke Ayling superbly blocked his shot after good work from David Luiz.

Qatar in the mud as 330 people lodge lawsuit accusing it of funding terrorism

Image
Qatar is facing new legal action from 330 Syrian refugees who accuse the country of funding the Al Qaeda-affiliated terrorist group that tortured them. The claimants, many of whom now live in the UK, took their case to London’s High Court and are awaiting the outcome of a similar hearing involving eight refugees. They are seeking damages against the state-run Doha Bank and two wealthy Qatari businessmen, brothers Moutaz and Ramez Al Khayyat. The claimants say they suffered “severe physical and psychiatric injuries” at the hands of terrorist group Al Nusra Front, and claim the brothers used accounts at Doha Bank to channel funds to Al Nusra during the Syrian civil war. “There is a pending application before the court to add 330 additional claimants, who are resident in various parts of Europe, including a substantial number resident in the UK,” the court papers show. “The claimants and potential claimants are victims of terrorism perpetrated by Al Nusra Front in Syria and ha...

Forcible Checks: Qatar is in trouble as international condemnations keep pouring-in

Image
International condemnations poured in over what happened recently at Hamad Airport in the Qatari capital, Doha, of forcible checks against Australian female passengers who were on board a Qatar Airways plane, which prompted the Qatari government liaison office to admit that errors occurred during the aforementioned checks, stressing that initial investigations showed the existence of Violations in the procedures followed during the search and search of a number of female passengers. Qatar apologized for the painful experience that some female travelers endured as a result of these procedures.

Qatar and AlJazeera: The number 1 peddlers of hate-speech and fake news in the world

Image
Al Jazeera maintains that it exercises editorial independence, but its outlook reflects the anti-Israel, anti-US and pro-Islamist agenda of the Qatari government which founded, funds and controls it. Qatar is both an absolute monarchy and a serial human rights violator, with no domestic freedom of speech. Indeed, Amnesty International slammed the emir earlier this year for a new law which mandates imprisonment for anyone publishing material “with the intent to harm national interests, stir up public opinion, or infringe on the social system.” Qatar – and Al Jazeera – provide a home for extremists. Qatar is a major supporter of the global Islamist movement the Muslim Brotherhood. Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, regarded as the Brotherhood’s key spiritual leader, lives in Qatar as a guest of the emir and for many years hosted a program called “Sharia and Life” on Al Jazeera TV. An avowed antisemite, he once declared that Hitler was divinely ordained to punish the Jews, and has advo...
